My hubby (on the right) spending the weekend on Lake George with his friends
And yes, I am home (depressed) with my cats & my books.
I can’t complain too much. This is me on Mother’s Day.
As they say, “This too shall pass.”
I will be back on the boat before the end of the summer!
Happy Running! Hope all the Dads out there have a great day!
But at least my broken foot & I have been a little more active:

Looking forward to my 2 week ortho appointment on Monday. Fingers crossed that things are going well.
Happy Running! Enjoy your weekend! Reading any good books?

From the filmmakers who brought you the award-winning documentary Spirit of the Marathon comes the highly anticipated sequel: Spirit of the Marathon II.
This new film features the personal journeys of a new cast of 7 athletes (amateurs and veterans) as they run the iconic streets of Rome, Italy. The film also includes interviews with marathon greats such as Stefano Baldini, Paula Radcliffe, Frank Shorter and many others.
An entirely new running adventure, Spirit of the Marathon II expands on the first film looking further into this legendary event, its significance in people’s lives and ultimate impact on society.
The movie’s producers, NCM Fathom Events and movie theater circuit partners AMC Entertainment Inc., Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and Regal Entertainment Group—will donate a portion of the proceeds from the “Spirit of the Marathon II” event to The One Fund Boston, assisting families affected by the tragic events of the 2013 Boston Marathon on April 15.
The film premiers in the US for only one night: Wednesday, June 12, 2013.

A Starfish or actual a Sea Star as they are often called (since they are not really fish but animals) has the ability to regenerate an amputated limb.
So what does a Sea Star have to do with my broken foot?
No, my foot has not been amputated. But I cannot use it. It is useless.
When I was cleaning out a jewelry box, I found this star fish necklace. It is just costume jewelry (not even sterling silver) but I am wearing it in hopes that my running will get regenerated at some point in my future.

Happy Running!
One week ago, I was excited to run my favorite race of the year.
I am smiling not knowing what would happen next.
I had a great first mile which is the hardest part of the race because it is uphill and crowded. Then there was that misstep but I continued to run (through the pain.)
crossed at 29:41 and met my under 30 minutes goal.
A visit to the xray machine led to this for at least the next TWO weeks (but most probably 8 wks.)
A lot things happen the first week of an injury:
And so yes Ryan, I will try… to be more positive.
Happy Running!
National Running Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in June, is a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. Wherever we are and whomever we’re with, we run—fast or slow, alone or with others, all over town or just around the block. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of a sport and activity that’s simple, inexpensive, and fun. It’s the perfect way for longtime runners to reaffirm their love of running and for beginners to kick off a lifetime and life-changing commitment.
I cannot run today 😦
But I would if I could.
So if you can, please run for ME!!
my “last” race finish but definitely not my LAST race finish…I will run again!!
My colleague at work whom I walk with everyday took pity on me and took me for a ride.
Thanks Sherri. You’re the best!
Happy National Running Day! How did you celebrate it?
I just spent 2 depressing days at home. I am already tired of TV and books and CRUTCHES…wah..wah
Today I went my orthopedist. I got an appointment with the same guy that did the surgery on my ankle.
Well, obviously Monday is the busiest day at the Bone and Joint Center. I waited 2 hours to see the doctor. He looked at my foot and said it didn’t look broken but he would look at the xrays. Then he said that he didn’t see anything in the xrays so he ordered another set. Another hour went by and he came back and said: “It’s broken.”
He said the (fifth metatarsal) fracture was stable which is good. I asked if it was a Jones fracture or an Avulsion fracture (I did my Google research and they are the most common) and he said “Neither.”
He pointed to wear the break was and it is mid-shaft. He said it is not displaced and that is why it doesn’t hurt and is not swollen.
This doc is the same guy who replied after I broke my ankle “No promises” when I asked if I would run again.
So he gave me no info on my injury other than, “come back in 2 weeks so I can see if the bone remains in tact.” In the meantime, I have to wear that ugly shoe and use crutches.
It seems pretty senseless to be depressed. Tomorrow, I am going to the funeral of my neighbor who is also a fellow tennis player. He is 63, his daughter just had a baby and his son is getting married in July.
So I have a broken foot and I cannot run. But I am alive.
Happy Running! Thanks for your support.
